Package: adduser
Version: 3.113+nmu1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


  * What led up to the situation?
I tried to delete an user added with adduser, using "userdel -r"
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I used "userdel -r" 
   * What was the outcome of this action?
"Segmentation fault" obtained
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected removing of the user. Note: I can delete user only manually editing /etc/passwd file, but userdel fails.
Deluser do not works too
